These are pages from a few of the many albums I have done for myself, my family and customers. 

		This is a picture of the farm where my Mother grew up with a poem written on a vellum overlay about her 70th birthday.
		This is from the same album and shows pictures of my grandparents from when they were married.  It was important to show the backs of the pictures as my grandmother had written on them.  So copies were made on acid and lignin-free paper and placed with the correct picture.
		Another page out of the same heritage album.  The slight glare you see on this and the previous page is from the page protector that covers and protects the page/photos from spills and fingerprints.
		This page shows how great a simple border can be.  This one sets off the highlights of the colorful memorabilia and a picture.
		This page again shows using a simple border to show off birthday cards and tying it all in to highlight a picture.
		This is a page with Spring and Easter pictures on it.
		This page shows all the colors of Fall with an early snowfall thrown in for good measure.  Notice the journaling box in the lower left corner.  This is so it is easier to write the who, what, where on the page.
		A decorative Xmas page
		This Xmas page again shows how a simple border and some matting can set off your pictures perfectly.
		A beautiful winter page with some creative cropping.
		A simple red, white and blue border adds to the patriotic feel of these pages of my father in his Korean War uniform.
		The same simple border shows Dad on duty in Korea along with a copy of one of the dozens of letters he sent home to his parents.  The letter was copied on acid and lignin-free paper to protect the photos.  The photos were all made from slides.
		The same simple border again sets off copies of Dads' dogtags and discharge papers along with a letter sent home to his Mother.
